pages when it receives a request for them. The term "search engine" is often used generically to
describe both crawler-based search engines and human-powered
2.3 SEMANTIC WEB INFRASTRUCTURE directories. These two types of search engines gather their listings
in radically different ways. Crawler-based search engines, such as
Google, create their listings automatically [2]. They "crawl" or
"spider" the web, then people search through what they have
found. A human-powered directory, such as the Open Directory,
depends on humans for its listings. When we submit a short
description to the directory for your entire site or editors write one
for sites they review. A search looks for matches only in the
descriptions submitted.
3.1.1 Web Crawler
A search engine cannot work without a proper index where
possible searched pages are stored, usually in a compressed
format. This index is created by specialized robots, which crawl
the Web for new/modified pages (the actual crawlers, or
spiders)[4]. Typical crawler architecture is depicted in the figure2
below.

Fig 1: ArchitectureDiagram.

In Fig1.the crawler application collects annotated Web


pages from the Semantic Web (in this case, represented by the
controlled environment and its Web page collection) including
RDF metadata and originating OWL ontology. RDF metadata are
interpreted by the OWL parser and stored in the knowledge
database. A graphics user interface allows for the definition of a
query, which is passed on to the relation-based search logic. The
ordered result set generated by this latter module is finally
presented to the user. The details of the system workflow will be
provided in the following sections.

2.4 ADVANTAGE OF PROPOSED SYSTEM


The Semantic Web will offer the way for solving this problem at
the architecture level. In fact, in the Semantic Web, each page
possesses semantic metadata that record additional details
concerning the Web page itself. This method is applied on each
property individually and requires exploring all the Semantic Web Fig 2: Typical crawler Architecture

3.1.4 Clustering the web result’s


Clustering is the act of grouping similar object into sets.
In the web search context: organizing web pages (search results)
into groups, so that different groups correspond to different user
needs. Existing search engines such as Google and Yahoo return
ranked lists of Web pages in response to a user’s query request.
Web users have to shift through the list to locate pages of interest
[9]. This is a time-consuming task when multiple sub-topics of the
given query are mixed together. A possible solution to this
problem is to cluster search results into different groups and to
enable users to identify their required group at a glance.

than the work required for fetching 10 results. Since fetching more
results than requested may be relatively cheap, the dilemma is
whether storing the extra results in the cache (at the expense of
evicting previously stored results) is worthwhile. Roughly
speaking, result prefetching is profitable if, with high enough
probability, those results will be requested shortly - while they are
still cached and before the evicted results are requested again. One
aspect of result prefetching was analyzed in, where the
computations required for query executions (and not cache hit
ratios) were optimized [10].
